52 Dresses - Week 1
When I was a little girl I shared a bedroom with my younger sister--a room no larger than 6' x 6', floral design on linoleum floor, bare off-white walls, single window that opened up to the sidewalk of a gangway, room for bunk bed and dresser. A pastime favorite was laying across the lower bed playing with paper dolls. My dolls travelled to places I read about or was read to, and I expanded their wardrobes making dresses, skirts, tops, and pants; sometimes using scrap fabrics for unique styling.
My paper doll is dressed for her first ball. She is in red and gold with a simple bodice cut and styled with fabric buttons. She dances all night enjoying the flair and bounce of her dress. Before she knows it, early morning arrives. She steps out onto the balcony and there, she watches the slow moving mist as it rises over a japanese garden.
